It’s starting to bake across parts of the country. Time to strip down, but not striptease. A pair of tailored shorts looks new and cool with a tailored, fitted shirt. Cut off the bottoms of skinny jeans at the calf or knee and roll once or twice. Wear with flip-flops, ankle gladiators or heels.
Another cool idea for socializing is the tunic. It’s breezy and goes with just about any bottom.
For work, pick a sleeveless sheath dress. Once inside the office with the A/C blasting, a cover up may be needed. A crop jacket with short sleeves is one good option. Alternately, try a lightweight little cardigan. The thing to bear in mind with the sweater is minimal fabric. Too much, and it looks hot and bulky.
A sack dress is another wise choice for cooling down while maintaining that “I-know-what-I’m-doing” look that’s so necessary for work. Roomy yet chic, it skims the body and is a flattering fit for every shape. Add some statement jewelry – a big necklace or an arresting cuff to finish the look. Sack dresses are wonderful with closed pumps or tribal sandals.
Can can you wear open-toes to work? Of course. Just don’t forget the cucumber pedicure.
